Objective: To describe a new laparoscopic technique that exposes the ovarian fossa and pelvic side wall by suspending the ovaries to the anterior abdominal wall for advanced endometriosis surgery.
Design: Report of an operative technique.
Setting: University teaching hospital.
Patient(s): More than 50 women operated on for endometriosis over the last 2 years.
Intervention(s): Laparoscopic suspension of one or both ovaries to the abdominal wall with transabdominal 2-0 polypropylene suture.
Main Outcome Measure(s): Technical feasibility.
Result(s): The technique is easy to perform in a short period of time.
Conclusion(s): In cases in which a good exposure to the ovarian fossa is needed, this technique can be performed in a short period of time without the need of an assistant.

Endometriosis is a chronic disease characterised by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, affecting 5-15% of women, especially those of reproductive age. The disease may manifest itself as dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, sterility and chronic pelvic pain, among other symptoms. Although it is not malignant, it shares some characteristics with cancer and can lead to epithelial ovarian carcinoma.

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic disease characterized by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Superficial endometriosis (SE) is the most prevalent form, yet it remains underdiagnosed due to subtle clinical and imaging presentations. Traditionally, diagnosis relies on laparoscopy, which is relatively invasive and often contributes to diagnostic delay.

: Chronic inflammation plays a critical role in pelvic pain among endometriosis patients. This study examines the association between inflammatory markers-specifically the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR)-and pelvic pain in endometriosis. : We conducted a retrospective analysis of endometriosis patients, assessing NLR and PLR levels in those with and without pelvic pain.

Advancements in single-cell analyzis technologies, particularly single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS), have enabled the analyzis of cellular diversity by providing resolutions that were not available previously. These methods enable the simultaneous analyzis of thousands of individual transcriptomes, facilitating the classification of cells into distinct subpopulations, based on transcriptomic differences, adding a new level of complexity to biomolecular and medical research. Fibroblasts, despite being one of the most abundant cell types in the human body and forming the structural backbone of tissues and organs, remained poorly characterized for a long time.

The Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) Endometriosis Working Group was tasked with providing guidance and benchmarks to ensure the quality of technique and interpretation for advanced imaging modalities associated with diagnosing endometriosis. Advanced pelvic ultrasound is essential in diagnosing and mapping pelvic endometriosis, but pelvic MRI serves as an excellent imaging tool in instances where access to advanced ultrasound is limited, or an alternative imaging modality is required. Despite the known utility of MRI for endometriosis, there is no consensus on imaging protocol and patient preparation in Canada.
